Judges are attorneys. You must finish college and complete four years of law school, then pass the Bar. Attorneys who become judges are interested in politics as well as the legal field. Some judges are elected, while others are appointed, so it is important to network and know your way around the political minefield in your jurisdiction. Judges are charged with understanding the law as well as being fair, which is not always easy. In small communities, it is possible that a judge without a law degree could run the court, but generally today, all judges are seasoning attorneys.
